Dejeuner du 02/09.Très bon accueil par l'équipe du Duc, personnel chaleureux & à l'écoute de notre contrainte (une poussette imposante). Un service aux petits soins & efficace par la charmante Charline. Des plats copieux & savoureux, accompagnés de cocktails exquis. Un bon moment en famille aidé par une ambiance conviviale.
We traveled all the way from Ontario to try their square croissant & I must say that it was all worth it. Souna greeted us & helped us & Iris took over. They were both amazing. Iris was very welcoming & friendly. The pastries were delectable, exquisite & heavenly!!! 😍🔥 Would I drive again to Montreal? Absolutely 💯
the food was perfect, the coffee quality is great coming from a coffee snob. service & ambiance was just amazing. we were there for a birthday brunch & the team sang for us 5/5.
Après avoir beaucoup entendu parler de cet établissement, j'ai été avec des copines tester & me faire mon propre avis. Honnêtement c'est surcôté, les pâtisseries sont pour la plupart non rafinées voir baclées, ce n'est pas du tout représentatif de la belle pâtisserie française. Le cadre à l'intérieur est beau mais très bruyant. Les prix sont excessivement chers par rapport à la qualité. La crème brulée n'était vraiment pas bonne, texture très granuleuse & aucun goût de vanille. Le praliné du paris-brest n'était pas du tout de bonne qualité, on ne sentait pas réellement le goût de la noisette & de l'amande. D'ailleurs, les pâtisseries ne sont pas faites avec de la vraie vanille & cela ce ressent. Enfin pour le prix c'est très très décevant. Je ne recommande pas cet établissement pour le côté sucré, il y a plus qualitatif à Montréal, passez votre chemin.
Une déception totale quant à la qualité des viennoiseries, le premier n'était pas frais, chauffé avec une texture dure. Le deuxième manquait de feuillage, il était dense. Une expérience gustative pas à la hauteur de votre renommée, dommage ! Le service était chaleureux & l'ambiance conviviale !

Myself & my family had been wanting to visit for a while the service was good as well as the location & ambiance I had the lobster bagel & poached eggs very good my wife & daughter had the roast beef sandwich unfortunately that was not very good both sandwiches were not good at all they tasted like they had been in the counter fridge too long stale bread & beige coloured roast beef I suspect it may have been poor rotation as there were many sandwiches in the display counte
I wish to commend the entire staff at Duc de Lorraine! Specifically, I wish to recognize Peter, Joanna & Xavier for their exceptional service. Also, the chefs who provided my wife & I with wonderful dining & wine selections during our anniversary. Duc de Lorraine is not just a restaurant -- it is an experience. My best to everyone at the restaurant!
The place is great & service feels like a high end Parisienne experience, with white glove service! I just find it's expensive for what it is. The brunch was very tasty but spending $40 on eggs just doesn't seem worth it to me. As for all other pastries, they looked delicious, ambiance is great & service was impeccable ! It's a nice overall experience.
Searching for delicious pastries? Duc de Lorraine is your place! I fell in love with the raspberry cream filled croissant & the macarons. Perfect brunch spot with an awesome view of the oratory!
The croissant cookie was amazing. The tiramisu latte & hot chocolate were pretty good too. Just that the price range on the description should have been $$$$ or $$$$$ not $$. These 3 items costed almost $50 with tax & tips.
